The first time it happened, oh man, I was young

The second time 'round, I had hoped it was love

But just like the sound that goes thud in the night

My feelings grew distant and far out of sight

Oh, the third time, it happens

The third time's a charm

Oh, that's what they tell you my son... my son

Ignoring convention, I did things my way

With luck due to show, I was ready to play

Lost twice on the red, doubled down on the black

The third time's the charm, I can get it all back

Oh, the third time it happens

The third time's a charm

Oh, the third time it happens

The third time's a charm

The third time it happens

The third time's a charm

The third time it happens

The third time...

One is the loneliest number, they say

Two is so perfect in every way

The third time's the charm, it's the merciful one

Turns certain defeat into victory won!

I see no cause to believe those who say

That my faith in good fortune risks everything else

(Just wait and see...)

I never knew that the way that I live

Left you doubting my appreciation for you

(Just wait and see...)

I took your silence for quiet consent

It was never my hope or intent to deceive

(Just wait and see...)

My superstitions make fortune less fickle

When life's unpredictable, and I need to believe

Oh, the third time it happens

The third time's a charm

Oh, that's what they tell you, my son

Oh, the third time it happens

The third time's a charm

Oh, that's what they tell you, my son!
